Xiao Huanxi, why did I become a father?

Chapter 57: Professor x Engineer

"Professor Zhou, there is a lot of wind and sand here, and the signal is also very poor. If you don't eat well, you can't sleep well."

Listening to my wife's complaints on the other end of the phone, even after listening to it many times, I still can't help but feel a little distressed.

As an aerospace worker, Qiao Yingzi often goes on business trips to the satellite rocket launch base in the Northwest, and he goes there for a month or two.

During this period, there was often one-line contact, only Zhou Qianshu left a message for her, and she would reply or call herself when she was done with work and had time.

It can be foreseen that the wife on the other end of the phone is also pouted and unhappy, but of course Professor Zhou will not let go of the opportunity to be intimate with his wife.

Oh, by the way, Zhou Qianshu finally chose Geology at Capital University under Yingzi's insistence, while Yingzi still chose Astronomy at Jinling University, which he had longed for.

"It's also the best to choose the one that suits you the most. It's just that the studies are separated. We will always be together!"

Zhou Qianshu could only compromise.

After the two were admitted to graduate school by the school, they went on to study for a Ph. D., and experienced eight years of "long-distance relationship".

Of course, at present, there is less gathering and more separation.

After graduating from a senior undergraduate course, in order to reassure her beloved girl, Yingzi recalled Yingzi who had only two days off during the project.

Zhou Qianshu took the household registration books of the two families and abducted directly from the airport to the Civil Affairs Bureau. After receiving the certificate, he spent a day resting with his wife in the legal sense.

The next day she returned to Jinling non-stop to continue her project.

And I also went back to school to follow my tutor to prepare for the next business trip. Geology-related subjects often need to go to the local area for field trips.

Sample and analyze the local landform, environment, rock and soil, etc., and then go back to school to summarize the topic.

So the instructor often follows a few students behind his butt, and he talks about it wherever he goes.

Zhou Qianshu was persuaded by his supervisor after graduating from Ph.D., and started as a teaching assistant at the school, and now has the title of associate professor.

Yingzi is also the responsible engineer of a certain project of the space agency, which is also the origin of the so-called Professor Zhou.

"Qiao Gong, is there anything you want to say to me at this moment? I'm not happy just complaining!"

The two of them seem to have never been called husband and wife, according to Yingzi:
"The two of us are too familiar, and when you were studying, you raised me as a daughter. I can't call this husband."

What else can I do?I can only follow her will!
"Well, there is also the kind that I miss you very much, very, very much! Professor Zhou, wait for me for a month! You can rest for a while after the project here is over."

Before he opened his mouth to talk for a while, a voice called Yingzi away, and he walked to his office helplessly listening to the busy tone on the phone.

Forget it, she will be back soon, so just bear with it, while she is resting, she has to find a chance to take the child.

The two mothers are constantly urging, and the two of them stand together for more than half, no matter how busy they are with their careers, they can't give up their families, right?
A retired executive and a retired teacher, neither money nor time, the baby's clothes have been sewn do not know how many pieces, but the couple did not make a sound at all.

The phone rang again, and when she raised her hand to see that it was Song Qian calling, Zhou Qianshu could only stroke her forehead.

"Hey, Mom."

"Yes, just finished class!"

"She just called me!"

"Yeah, we're going to have a baby when she comes back next month!"

"Really, let's not talk about it, I have students coming to me."

Pretending not to see her mentor's stare, she put down the phone and started studying the "Pregnancy Handbook" co-produced by Song Qian and Wang Rou.

on the car home
"I said Professor Zhou, you didn't even kiss me just now, this is the first time! Also, isn't this the way back to Mom's place?"

Zhou Qianshu didn't say a word the whole time. This was the longest time the couple had been separated since they got married.

From the time she was secretly summoned to the end of the project, there were eight months in between. At this moment, there are more important things than meeting her parents!
Yingzi was a little puzzled, he didn't seem to mess with his own man, did he?What's the situation with this restrained expression?
No matter, quickly find a topic to make him stop acting like this.

"Professor Zhou, are you still writing songs for Sister Huang Ling? There haven't been any new songs coming out recently?"

Still didn't get an answer, the man just focused on looking at the road, as if it wasn't his wife but a cloud of air around him?
Three and 10 minutes later, at the entrance of an international hotel.

"get off."

This is the first sentence he has said since she came back, so why are you here?Is there any activity that you can't wait until you get home?
However, Qiao Yingzi obediently got out of the car, waited for the man to get down and threw the keys to the valet parking attendant, and took his own hand and walked towards the hotel.

"Ding~"

The elevator reaches the first floor. There seems to be a lot of people in the hotel at this point!So what is it for?
Watching the man press the button on the 22nd floor, Qiao Yingzi let go of her clenched arms and straightened her appearance against the reflective wall in the elevator.

But no matter how you fiddle with it, it looks dusty and not dignified enough, and you can't help but feel a little sad. You won't embarrass your man, right?

Looking up with a worried expression, she just met the man's fiery eyes. She took two steps back in fear, leaned her back against the elevator wall, and twitched her hands together in bewilderment.

"Ha, Qiao Gong, I haven't seen you for eight months, aren't you going to say something to me face to face?"

His eyes gradually became dangerous, like the predators he saw in the animal world ten years ago, waiting for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow.

"What are you talking about? I miss your husband very much!"

After speaking, she tried to jump on him and hug him, that look made her a little scared.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Qianshu pressed her shoulders and pushed her back against the wall, while the other hand held her restless little hands and pressed her close.

Yingzi looked up at his man, is it useless to call her husband?Glancing secretly at the elevator, why is it so slow!

The man's breathing gradually made her body stiff, and she didn't dare to think about what would happen to a man who hadn't tasted meat for eight months.

So there is no activity in the first place right?But why choose a hotel?
"Hey, hubby"

Seeing her flattering smile, Zhou Qianshu already knew that she finally understood what she was here for.

Just when the two were about to get close.
"Ding~"

The 22th floor is here.

Yingzi pushed away the distracted Zhou Qianshu and seemed to run out, please, there is surveillance inside!Anyway, you have to close the door.

"2208, ran away!"

His voice was already so hoarse, he just stared at Qiao Yingzi who came back slowly and awkwardly, and handed out his room card to signal her to open the door.

After closing the door, I was about to run to the window to see that Yingzi's neck was pinched by a big hand outside, it was very painful, okay?What's going on today?

"Qiao Gong, what did you call me in the elevator just now? I want to hear it."

"Professor Zhou, my suggestion is to take a shower first, what do you think? I just came back from the Gobi Desert and I'm covered in dust!"

Hearing the unsatisfactory title, Zhou Qianshu pushed him against the wall again, "One more chance, Qiao Gong, if you want to walk home normally tonight."

Hearing this sentence, a certain person awakened the funny talent that shouldn't have appeared inappropriately. "Then are you going to break my leg? How can you prevent me from walking home?"

Tsk!What a sense of humor!But the last chance wasted!
I lowered my head as I thought about it, and finally tasted the softness of being separated for eight months.

"Let me catch my breath!"

"How can you bite like this?"

The hand changed from pressing against his approaching chest to hooking his neck, and her swollen but shiny lips made her feel a little uneasy.

"Husband takes a shower first!"

This time he smiled with satisfaction, and pulled her into the bathroom.

after an hour
Caressing his wife's smooth back, propping his head with one hand and watching her curled up in his arms like a kitten, he felt a little moved.

"Don't move, I need to rest!"

Yingzi tapped Zhou Qianshu lightly. The passionate feelings made her a little tired, which was much more tiring than doing research every day!
"Hurry up, or the long vacation my mother invited you will be wasted."

What holiday?No, what are you all plotting these days when I'm not here?
"Did you use the 'little balloon' in the bathroom?"

"What do you think? My dear Qiao Gong, the third child is open, and we haven't seen the first child yet, haven't we?"

Turning over and hugging his wife, the heat gradually approached.

"Wait a minute! I really want to rest. Mmm."

More than a month later, after an unstoppable vomiting, I went to the hospital and found out that I was pregnant.

Even the leaders of the Far Space Agency called to express their congratulations.

As for Professor Zhou, who was laughing so hard that he couldn't see his eyes, Yingzi also lowered her head shyly. Was this person just pretending before?Why are you like livestock these days!
In the second year of the spring equinox, the child was finally born. The seven-pound daughter was named Zhou Qiaoyi.

The two mothers took good care of them during this period. It can be said that they opened their mouths and stretched out their hands when they were eating, and they accompanied them 24 hours a day.

The scene of the full moon banquet was not insignificant. Professors from Peking University, leading colleagues from the space agency, and my own friends also brought their children over.

Ji Yangyang, who is far away in Germany, also flew back to participate.

Two years later, Yingzi retreated behind the scenes, and her superiors specially transferred her to teach at Capital University, which finally counted as a family reunion!
"Mom! Brother Xixi is always rubbing my face hard, please take care of him!"

"Mom! There is a little boy in our class who is very childish!"

"Mom, I got first place in physics again, why don't you give me some rewards?"

"How many times have I told you not to come into my room casually!"

"I found the job I wanted at the graduate job fair!"

"Mom! Do you think your granddaughter is beautiful?"

"mom"

Everything about her daughter made Yingzi reminisce about her youth. They are so similar, but not so different.

Until the head is full of gorgeous hair, and the appearance is no longer.

She didn't remember how many times this happened to the ears of old man Zhou who was downstairs watching other people playing chess without going home with his meal. Every time he said yes and then forgot!
"Oh, so many people are watching, at least you have to show some face!"

"You still have the nerve to save face. I have heard this sentence thirteen times this month, and there are fifteen days left in this month! If you don't want to eat, don't eat!"

As retired professors, the two old men and old ladies handed over the house to their daughters and left something for their granddaughters and grandchildren.

They live in an 80-square-meter house allocated to them by the school, chatting with some old men who are also retired teachers and basking in the sun every day.

Sometimes students would come to visit, and the year before last, he accompanied Zhou Qianshu to his student's wedding as a witness.

Looking back on the more than 40 years of wind and rain, Yingzi is also full of emotion.

He seems to have pampered and pampered himself in every possible way from the very beginning. When he was studying, he heard that he had many suitors.

In the first few years, the reason of being in a different place made her feel insecure, even though he loved herself so much.

During the summer vacation at the end of my senior year, I was sorting out materials for my tutor when I received a call from my mother. The content was very simple, and I had already handed over the household registration book to Zhou Qianshu.

The next day, she asked for leave and rushed back to the capital to get a certificate with him. That was the first time she felt his passion, and the fiery emotions were vented out, which made her unable to hold back at all.

Looking back at his diaries, Qiao Yingzi also had tears in his eyes.

"When I was an adult, I clearly expressed my heart. It's too early for you to say. I waited obediently for two years."

"Finally we came together, but you said that I don't have to go to a school that is not the most suitable for me because of you. I obediently chose Beijing University."

"You said you were afraid that I would be too famous, and that those girls would abduct me. I have never done a live broadcast or written a new song, but I am afraid that you will think about it."

"You said that you want to work hard to realize your dream, but the family can only be wronged, and children are our extravagant hope. I also listened."

"I don't know how many messages I send you every time, worrying about your health, food problems, accommodation problems, and even reminding you to wear windproof glasses and sun protection"

"It took a long time to receive a call. Listening to your complaints, you don't want to call me husband. Obviously we have already obtained the certificate, haven't we?"

"In April 2027, it was a windy day in the northwest region. I haven't contacted her for nine days. I don't know how she is."

Many, many, she never knew that he was still so sentimental,
The so-called joy is always mixed with sadness, we can only find a trace of sweetness in the ordinary or pain of life and recollect it repeatedly.

This is Xiao Huanxi, a little joy that belongs to everyone.
